BECAUSE A MODEL MUSTN'T BE ONLY BEAUTIFUL

PERCHÉ UNA MODELLA NON DEVE ESSERE SOLO BELLA

ЗАЧЕМ МОДЕЛЬ НЕ ДОЛЖНА’ БЫТ ТОЛЬКА КРАСИВОЙ

Beauty isn’t an easy thing. There are so many beautiful women
but only some of them are in the memory, in the collective unconscious, in the myth. Let’s think to Cleopatra, the classical femme fatale attractive but not beautiful: she was charming, she could
be a queen, she could propose herself in a totally attractive way.

This makes the difference, in this way the differences is
made by an ostensible beauty contest which actually is a professional master: the fashion award Top Fashion Model.

On 27th September in Giovinazzo(Apulia )the national final took place with the approval of clouds which luckily disappeared and the Fountain Tritons coloured by well calibrated
lights.

Greedy occasion for the stylists who showed their works, taking advantage on the young models grace:
easy recipe for a well organized event by Carmen Martorana Events which alternated moments of show with interesting fashion proposals.

Regarding to recipes, Michele Gaudiomonte suggests the Italian recipe “garlic, oil and chili pepper”: easy, tasty and fulfilling,
just as his collection, introduced even to Milan Expo. Self-knowledge and self-irony are the basic ingredients of the stylists who paints on contemporary textiles, raising the modest garlic to an
exclusive painting. Chef for playing, between everyday life and excess (but never empty of an esthetic courtesy) he remembers with his garments in a refined way and never overloaded the colours
of Mediterranean markets, under the banner of “make me happy with little and that little looks everything”.

Marina Corazziari too tells about Mediterranean, in a fusion
of styles from which jewels raise concerning those she repeats “They have everything special. I don’t inspire to anything in particular. It is my own genre.” Determined and self-confident. Ms
Corazziari goes on with her work since years, earning various approvals.

Giulio Lovero proposes on the contrary a sophisticated lady, important, lover of parties but even of the old tailor’s shop, whom she shows with mastery the hand embroidery. It’s
clear his weakness for Versace and interesting his refusal of the bride in the classical totally white dress.

Because “before being stylist , you need to be tailors” , Giuseppe Fata remembers (President of the National Chamber Young Fashion Designer), with the aim of “renovate the made in Italy and not create a
disequilibrium towards the Paris catwalks”. Delightful the general Director of the CNGFD Alessandra Giulivo in the role of presenter of the soiree and unavoidable a very chic garment of Roberto
Guarducci, artistic director of Top Fashion model.

To value the faces of the models The makeup Academy/Agency of Milan Stefano Anselmo; the leading
origin, explains Angela Di Giovanni, is only one: “don’t make up but create a story which tells of that face in a not told language”.

The same matter for Salvo Binetti (member of The Club Wella Education by Toni&Guy and coordinator of the group Best Wella for Apulia) and his team: all studied. And if hair looks messy it is
as you makes woman hair , always keeping an eye last tendences of catwalks and the advices of the present Toni Pellegrino, tutor of program “Detto Fatto” on RAI 2.

Let’s arrive to the moment of dancing and singing. Nothing
similar to Apulian festivals (which we passionately adore but which represent a folk style to live fully in the Salento villages that everybody rightly envies us): Ottavio Di Stefano reminds
us not ( or at least not only) for his participation to the tv program “Amici” but because he has got a scenic presence, a charm and a professional
power of high profile.Eager esthetic beauty and singing.

Not at all eager the dancer Mattia Ignomiriello: thin human
being who soars on stage. A marvel. Delicate, silently outgoing as only great men can be. Few chitchats and a lot of talent, in other words, who alternates to the spectacular performers of
Obiettivo Tropici.

We watched him, we listened to Ottavio, we watched the models and the creations of the stylists and we thought to Albert Camus: “
Beauty doesn’t undoubtlessly make revolutions. But it comes a day when revolutions need beauty”.

Closed this first edition with the victory of Megan Bruno from Emilia Romagna, the bestowal od the title “Elegance” and “Face make up” from Academy Stefano Anselmo to Natasha
Damiani from Bari, that of “Beauty” to Carol Tridici from Rome, the model selected by Bonitalola Serena De Cillis as face of next advertisement campaign, and even testimonial for the hair stylist Salvo Binetti and our decision to choose the extraordinary stylish Adjia Samba for our next shooting, Carmen Martorana is already thinking about
next contest 2016 which next year will overcome national borders to expand to Canaries and Balearic Islands. Ad maiora, so and ... stay
stylish!
